According to Delta, a suite of logs was run to total depth and five zones were identified as potentially capable of producing hydrocarbons.
Delta and its partners decided to set production casing to 7,500ft based on the initial data, and the well was perforated in the Lower Hackberry.
Following the completion of initial tests of the first zone, the well flowed oil at the approximate rate of 48 barrels per day with trace water on a 5/64 inch choke.
Delta said it anticipates being able to perforate up to four additional pay zones once the initial zone is depleted.
The Texas prospect contemplates the drilling of a total of three wells in the Newton County area, and Delta owns a 40% gross working interest in the wells covered by this drilling program.
